Question

You have two options for this task.

Option 1: Create your own stage or film interpretation of one scene or chapter from Journey to the Center of the Earth, write it out in script or screenplay format, or you can actually film it and upload it to your instructor. You can conduct an Internet search for sample scripts or screenplays to help you with the basics of formatting.

Remember, you are only doing one section. Pick a chapter and go to town!

Option 2: Write an analysis of how the filmmakers of one of the adaptations chose to recreate the movie. Pick a scene — for example, the desperate search for water — and describe and explain how the filmmakers adapted the novel. What parts did they keep? What parts did they change? Why do you think they did that? Do you agree with those decisions? Do you think they made for a better movie? Why or why not?

Write these answers up in a 2 paragraph essay and submit it to your instructor.

Answer 1

For Option 1, start by selecting a chapter from the book that you want to adapt into a screenplay or script. Then, read through the chapter carefully, taking note of the characters, their actions, and the setting. Use this information to write out the scene in script format. Make sure to include dialogue, stage directions, and any other relevant details. If you need help with formatting, search online for sample scripts or screenplays.

For Option 2, choose one of the film adaptations of Journey to the Center of the Earth and pick a specific scene to analyze. Watch the scene carefully and take note of how the filmmakers adapted the novel. Look for similarities and differences between the book and the movie, and consider why the filmmakers made those choices. Do you agree with their decisions? Did the changes make for a better movie or detract from the story? Make sure to support your analysis with evidence from both the book and the movie.
